N00577300024
The Forward Collision Mitigation System (FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a collision with a vehicl
e straight ahead of your
vehicle. The FCM uses a radar sensor (A) todetermine the distance to a vehicle in front and relative speed to th
at vehicle. The FCM is
not designed as an automatic driving systemor as a collision
avoidance system.
When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle straight ahead in your path and the FCM
judges that there is the ri
sk of a collision, the
system will give audibl
e and visual warnings.
When the FCM judges th
at a collision with
the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the system will automatically apply moderatebraking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges th
at a collision with
the vehicle straight-a
head is highly unavoid-
able, the system will apply emergency brak- ing to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the collision.
N00577400025
If the system judges that there is a risk of your vehicle colliding wi
th a vehicle in front,
this function warns you of the potential haz- ard with visual and audible alarms.When this function is triggered, a buzzer sounds and, at the same time, a “BRAKE” message appears on the information screen ofthe multi-information display. The FCM will also prepare to provide quick brake response and greater brake force whenyou apply the brakes.

(if so
equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitations of this system. Failure to follow instruc- tions could result in an accident.
 The FCM is desi
gned to help avoid certain
frontal collisions or
reduce the crash
speed in such collisions. It is not a substi-tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the system may not operate or may not detect cor-rectly a vehicle in fr
ont. When
your vehi-
cle is approaching a vehicle too closely, take all necessary actions to avoid a colli-sion, such as brakin
g and steering, regard-
less of whether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent acollision.

When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle straight-ahead is imminent, the FCM will automatically apply moderate brak- ing to warn the driver to apply the brakesimmediately. If the FCM judges that the collision is highly unavoidable, it will automatically applyemergency braking to reduce the severity of the collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision.When the FCM applies
emergency braking, a
buzzer sounds and a warn
ing message is dis-
played in the information screen of the multi- information display.
NOTE
 If the FCM detects that the driver is making steering and/or accelera
tion inputs to try and
avoid a collision, the forward collision warn-ings may stop.
FCM braking function

WA R N I N G If the ASC is turned off, the FCM braking function will not operat
e. Refer to “Active
stability control” on page 5-90. If the brake pedal is not depressed within 2 seconds after your vehicle has been stopped by the FCM, a warning buzzer will sound and the brak
es activated by the
FCM will automatically be released. Apply the brakes as
necessary to keep
your vehicle stationary.NOTE
 When depressing the brake pedal while auto- matic braking is applie
d, the brake pedal will
feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply
greater braking force.
 During the automatic
braking, operating
sounds may be heard.
This is normal.
WA R N I N GThe FCM will not activate and will not provide either warnin
g or braking in cer-
tain situations. Some of these include:• When the selector lever is in a positionother than the “D” (DRIVE) or “Ds”(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING).• When your vehicle speed is extremelylow, less than ap
proximately 2 mph
(2km/h).• When an object other than a vehicle,such as a pedestri
an, is in front.
• When the FCM has detected a problem in the system.• When a vehicle suddenly cuts in front ofyour vehicle.• When the vehicle in fr
ont is moving at a
speed much lower than your vehicle’s speed.
 Braking function will
not work in the fol-
lowing situations.• Your vehicle is driving at approximately19 mph (30 km/h) or faster while thevehicle in front is
stationary or moving
extremely slow.•ASC is OFF. The forward collision warning function and/or the FCM brakin
g function may not
activate in certain situations. Some of these include:• When a vehicle cuts
into your path at a
close distance.

When the system recognizes driver’s steering or accelerati
ng actions as evasive
actions to avoid colli
sion, FCM control
and alarm functions
may be canceled.
In certain situations, though there is little or no risk of a collision, the FCM may activate. Examples include: • When overtaking a vehicle.• When driving on a curve.• When approaching
a gate, a railroad
crossing, an underpass, a narrow bridge,manhole lid or
a speed bump.
The FCM should be tuned off if any of fol- lowing situations occur:• When the tires are not properly inflated. • When the emergency spare tire is used.• When your vehicle is
towed or your vehi-
cle tows another vehicle.• When your vehicle is carried on a truck.• When your vehicle is on a chassis dyna- mometer or free rollers.• When the area where the radar sensor isinstalled has been damaged or deformed.CAUTION To maintain proper performance of the FCM;• Always clean the surface of the radar sen- sor.• Avoid impacting the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.WA R N I N G
• Do not put a sticker on the radar sensor or its surrounding area.• Do not paint the radar sensor.• Do not install a grill guard.• Do not modify the radar sensor or its sur-rounding area.• Always use tires of the same size, sametype and same brand,
and which have no
significant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions.
